The British Ministry of Defence has confirmed its plans to further enhance the artillery capabilities of the British Armed Forces by acquiring an additional 15 M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems and one Repair and Recovery Vehicle from the United States. The MoD’s commitment extends beyond the acquisition of new MLRS units, as the Ministry has also pledged £800 million over the next 10 years for the procurement of GMLRS and Extended Range GMLRS missiles.
